The Network Sonar Results Wizard opens to guide you through selecting the devices from discovery results that you want to monitor. These results are available whenever a requested or scheduled SolarWinds Network Sonar Discovery operation completes, or whenever you choose to either Import All Results or Import New Results for a selected discovery profile.

The Results Wizard automatically adds non-server nodes as SolarWinds NCM nodes if there is at least one connection profile set up with Use for Auto Detect enabled.
